Good link for setting up MOSS 2007 on Win2008 with SQL2008

I installed my first instance of MOSS 2007 w/ SP2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2008 R2, and I was looking for a tutorial on this, and this one by Andreas Glaser really helped.

Update: Make sure to not install (or if you already installed it, uninstall) InfoPath 2010.  If you have it installed, you’ll get an “SPUpgradeException: One or more types failed to load” error.  Uninstalling InfoPath 2010 did the trick and the install completed smoothly.  Only InfoPath 2007 will work on the same server as MOSS 2007.  If you really need to use InfoPath 2010 with SharePoint 2007, you could develop from another machine that doesn’t have SharePoint 2007 on it, but I haven’t tested that, and it’s probably not worth missing out on the benefits of developing on the server.  It turns out that having Office 2007 and Office 2010 on the same machine can cause other problems with SharePoint too, like the ability to upload multiple files at once, and opening a list in Windows Explorer.  Once you settle on one version of Office and repair that installation, those functionalities return.
